Discussion Series: “The Cross and the Lynching Treet” – Two powerful symbols — the cross and the lynching tree — are prevalent motifs interwoven in the lives of African Americans. Theologian James Cone notes, ”The crucifixion of Jesus by the Romans in Jerusalem and the lynching of blacks by whites in the United States are so amazingly similar that one wonders what blocks the American Christian imagination from seeing the connection.” Please join Pr. Tony Carpenter and Gary Maring as they lead a discussion around Cone’s book, “The Cross and the Lynching Tree.”
